It isn’t the label I’m snobby about as much as the fabric choices and cut. The jacket is wool and both dresses are silk. The designer does a wonderful job creating garments that flatter the female shape. I know I’ll feel and look good in her pieces. Are you a Diane von Furstenburg fan?
I haven't seen much from her second-hand, unfortunately. There just aren't any stores in my city that sell her line, so nothing to trickle into the consignment stores.
ReplyDeleteYou've put it perfectly re: not being snobby about brands. I like specific brands because the fabric and fit are so good. It's more of a short-cut when you're shopping, isn't it?
I recently thrifted a DFV silk blouse. The tag had been cut leaving only the tops of tallest letters in her signature. I was getting ready to wash it when I said, wait a minute, I think I know what this is! A quick internet search and I confirmed I had a DFV. :o) I had no clue when I bought it, I only knew that the print was fantastic and the fabric silk!

YES! I just last week purchased my first Diane von Furstenburg dress. I hesitated on it since it was still a bit pricey (even though I found it at TJ Maxx in the designer section), but I splurged and got it and am so glad I did. Fits like a glove, so pretty and comfortable! Will be posting it tomorrow :)
